Wellfleet

Most people, when they think of Wellfleet think of the drive-in movies, the flea market and the Oyster Festival. Today, Bobby and I went to explore the other aspects of Wellfleet. All we had to do was put the car in neutral and the wind pushed us up there. OK, I may be exaggerating, but the wind today was unbelievable!!

First we stopped at PB Boulangerie and Bistro. I wish I could have captured the smell of all the bread there. It was amazeballs (this is much more than just amazing). My chocolate croissant melted in my mouth and we even bought white chocolate bread to bring home! Chocolate and bread= pure happiness.

We took a little hike around a marshy island? I've always wanted to see what was on the other side of this bridge. The views were beautiful and the wind strong!!

We decided that we would be so happy in that little yellow house with the marsh/ocean view. Too cute!

Then we took a road north along the water toward Truro and passed a golf course and ended up at Duck Harbor beach. We were the only ones in the parking lot and as we trudged up the path to the ocean, we were anticipating the winds on the other side of the dunes. It was so blustery, that the sand hurt as it was whipping at you. But, oh what a site!!! We were the only ones (crazy enough) to be on the beach and we could see forever. I can't wait to check it out this summer!!

So take a day trip to Wellfleet, it's totally worth it!! And don't forget to bring me something chocolatey from the bakery!

Wellfleet Oyster Festival

Yesterday we went to the Wellfleet Oyster Festival. I would have written about it last night if my fingers weren't still frozen. Brrrrr, it was COLD! We had on layers, scarves and mittens! It wasn't so much the temp as it was the wind blowing through the town. Anyway, we did have fun and my dad had his share of oysters. (Yeah, married to a fisherman, don't like shellfish, that's irony for you).

My dad likes his oysters with hot sauce and horseradish. Very nicely presented, Dad.

This is a little church in the town center. I don't think it is a church anymore, but I love the doors anyway. The festival is always this same weekend every year if you want to plan on coming with me next year. Just bring mittens and lots of layers!
